Answer 1

Different people adopt different strategies, so it depends on yourself and the style of the company.

Sales management is often very competitive. Which means you need to be a little bit pushy, but also quick to reward those people who are successful, which jumping on unethical behaviour.

Sales can be a hard job and so while you are pushing people to do better, you must also be supportive amd encourage people to be part of a team.

People also perform their work better when they are being watched. For sales it can a matter of working closely with your sales team, get them used to being there. It also creates opportunites for people to make suggestions and improvements for the company.

Answer 2

A sales manager has to be hands on. Always stay on top of everything that is happening in the company. Do a lot of talking. Talk to your boss, talk to the people under you and talk to customers. Always keep your cell phone on.

The best part of a Manager is that you are expected to make others work. So do that. Give every one some work and then check if they have done it. Always insist on a reporting system. Call for meetings. Individually and as a team. Make everyone give you a report. Make everyone set a target and push them to achieve it.

Its fun! Congrats and all the best.

As a manager or leader of a team , it doesnt matter which industry you are in, your role is to influence or persuade yr team to be effective. In order to do that, you need to have people-skills, the humility to listen to yr team n their ideas; the smart to know if they are good ideas etc. To earn respect, you must demonstrate integrity, wisdom and friendship.
